Manchester United vs Leicester City

So much has changed at the central England team since it was last among the elite six years ago, with Chinese ownership investing heavily and utilizing its business relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo's agent to attract players.

"I'm not confident, I'm not confident and the market closes today, so is time at least for me to stop thinking about the market because the market will be closed", Mourinho said.

United have so far signed three players this summer - Brazil midfielder Fred for £47m, Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot and third-choice goalkeeper Lee Grant.

Certainly, Spurs can not afford a repeat of the sluggish start that marred the opening weeks of last season if they are to challenge champions Manchester City and a Liverpool side that, by stark contrast, will feature £160 million of new signings this term. "I'm happy for them", Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"It's not just that we have to be more consistent, we have to create circumstances where we can be more consistent", the German added. According to data analysis website FiveThirtyEight, City has a 45-per-cent chance of winning the Premier League again this season.

Whatever the explanation, the lack of new faces compounds issues surrounding the United squad heading into the Premier League season.

After the United goal though it was mostly one-way traffic for the visiting side, with David De Gea repeatedly called into action including a miraculous save on a James Maddison shot that should have drawn Leicester level.
